That is ok, we want SBR to make money, and to do that, we have to keep the advertising books semi-happy.

They consider themselves a REC book, but they are slightly above that.
REMEMBER, THESE RATINGS ARE FOR SAFETY ONLY.......ALTHOUGH BETJAM STILL QUALIFIES FOR MY TOP FIVE OVERALL.
They are worth a look for you , you will not DISlike them.
Ok THX for the info

I refuse to use any other book than Heritage. I have been treated better by them than I treat my own employees. I sometimes shake my head and wonder how is it an offshore book can be so top notch at Customer Service and all the above. They are years beyond the rest.

If you don't like SBR......TAKE A HIKE!
I love SBR, I have no time for you, however.
My theory is not positive towards you so I will keep it to myself.
In terms of safety I actually agree with what you have said, makes a change from your constant selling of Matchbook.

is something about to come down with the offshore industry? why only 3 books? i'm not counting rebate wager(thats fu*king ludicrous). i would feel safe w/about 10 books right now. is there some breaking news that should spook me away from bp/bm or the first fidelity books?

Saying something like this offers no value, appears to be self aggrandizing, and causes you to lose credibility imho.

The title says books for US players, Pinny does not allow US players any longer.

By safety are we talking about guaranteeing getting our money? The legality? or books that aren't struggling? Explain safety

i posted this in its own thread b4 i saw this thread;
jj- and fishead i would g8ly appreciate imput...
but i dont want a bunch of reps and touts....i could care less about anyone under 5k posts answer...reps and touts please stay silent...
ok,
i live in the us. i have an acct at many sportsbooks. this has worked for me up until now. i have a total of 75k in different books. (7 to be exact). notice i am not using names? this is because i dont want to hear go to this or that book...
my question is if you wanted to take 35k (and bank the rest) where would you go out of the following;
betjm
5dimes
or The Greek.
i like to play poker, but it is not the most important to me. i need a quick payout policy (remember im in the us, so no neteller or money booker) and i need to be able to place large wagers. (not all of it at once, but i have been know to bet 5k at a clip-rare-but it happens)
thank you for your imput in advance.
time is of the essence.

Greek is the best of those options, but why are you trying to put all 35k in one book?

Thremp has successfully answered your question.
FH
ps- Remember, the three books I listed in post # 1 are my top three that meet ONLY two criteria.............SAFETY OF FUNDS and SERVE THE U.S.
To answer the question about the safety for other books, EVERY book has a degree of safety, just some are more safe or unsafe then others........I have listed my TOP THREE for SAFETY, this does not mean every other book is UNsafe.
Obviously most if not all D rated and below books by SBR I would not have one red cent in........and either should any poster.

thanks for the feed back guys!!! looks like im going greek!!!
the reason i want to move it into one book is that i find myself overbetting, i honestly started out 4 yrs ago, with my graduation money and was just having fun, now i feel that the smart move is to ring the register and pull some off the top and put it in the bank. i also have heard some things about the books i have been using, and have decided that my best bet i could make would be to walk-no-RUN away.
one last question 4 u guys if u dont mind.
do u suggest pulling it all at once? or slowly.
i am not worried about the taxes, because i claim them...
thx for all of your replies, they have been more than valuable to me.

i used matchbook for a while,
but the problem is that if you make a big bet...its almost impossible to fill the whole thing...
if you do....you move the mkt. too much.
i stick to easy bets like boxing and tennis etc.
i make small bets on football and basketball...so im not going to base an account around that action.
i did like matchbook though-
wish i could access betfair, then an exchange would be brilliant!

Well, considering I've been with 200+ of them over 10+ years and only been stiffed one time and know many in the business offshore ............nevermind, you obviously don't even play offshore.

Thanks for the list fellas. I don't think you can go wrong with any of those books listed.
